The Indie Valentine's Day Playlist

Love is in the air

The Indie Valentine's Day Playlist
Retriever Staff

If you’re anything like me, you create multiple playlists for different events or holidays. It sets the mood for whatever occasion is happening. Whether you’ve got a partner or are flying solo this valentine’s day, feel the love with music!

1. Sucre: “Persuasion”

This is one of the sweetest love songs. Sucré’s Stacy Dupree-King has a voice that makes it sound like an affectionate lullaby.

2. Wild Child: “Darling Divine”

A delicate, folkish love song of a sort of unrequited love.

3. Hozier: “Like Real People Do”

This song is definitely made for a Valentine’s playlist. Both the lyrics and style give off the essence of love.

4. Vampire Weekend: “Everlasting Arms”

Although ‘Everlasting Arms’ is presumably a reference to protection from God, who says it can’t be taken as a sort of love song?

5. Børns: “Electric Love”

An upbeat jam about love’s powerful electricity.

6. Saint Motel: “Cold Cold Man”

This song was made for dancing. Saint Motel gives love in this song by repeating “you’re the only one worth seeing, the only place worth being, the only bed worth sleeping’s the one right next to you.”

7. In the Valley Below: “Lover”

A statement of truth in love; In the Valley Below sings “I won’t be the kind of lover who takes your hand and holds another, I won’t be the kind of lover who takes your hand and holds you under.”

8. Brandon Flowers: “Still Want You”

No matter what occurs in this world, good or bad, Brandon Flowers will still want his love.

9. Father John Misty: “True Affection”

Father John Misty, you have our hearts. He wants a true conversation without “all these strange devices.”

10. Coast Modern: “Guru”

Coast Modern loves their “guru” and the distance will never come between their love.

11. Fitz & the Tantrums: “Out of My League”

A lighthearted ode to their lover who is “more than just a dream.”

12. Judah & the Lion: “Take It All Back”

A folk pop song, Judah & the Lion would “take it all back just to have [their love].”

13. Passion Pit: “Where the Sky Hangs”

Passion Pit is caught up in the heartstrings of his love; he has feelings of love run deep.

14. The Avett Brothers: “I and Love and You”

This is a beautiful song, and it’s not the typical love song; the narrator has trouble in saying those three words.

15. Lord Huron: “Fool for Love”

A soft song, Lord Huron proves that they would do anything for their love.

16. The Paper Kites: “Bloom”

A charming, calming song about The Paper Kites’ love; their love is their world, and they just want to be close to their love.

17. The Black Keys: “Howlin’ For You”

The Black Keys aren’t hiding anything; they are professing their attraction and love for someone.

18. Haim: “Honey & I”

Haim doesn’t need to think about any past lovers; they are perfectly happy with their honey.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

1951

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
